Bird feeding
Bird feeding is the activity of feeding wild birds, often by means of a bird feeder.
==History==
James Fisher wrote that the first person recorded as feeding wild birds was the 6th-century monk Saint Serf of Fife who tamed a pigeon by feeding it. In the harsh winter of 1890-91 in Britain national newspapers asked people to put out food for birds. In 1910 in the United Kingdom, Punch magazine declared that feeding birds was a "national pastime."〔Moss, Stephen 2004 A bird in the bush. Aurum Press. p 102-103〕 Bird feeding has grown into the United States' second most popular hobby behind gardening.〔Richardson, Scott. "Feeding Time." ''Pantagraph'' (IL ) 31 January 2010. Print.〕 To celebrate the bird feeding hobby, February was named National Bird-Feeding Month by congressional decree in 1994.〔U.S. House. Representative John Porter of Illinois speaking on National Wild Bird Feeding Month. 103rd Cong. ''Congressional Record'' (23 February 1994). Volume 140.〕
